Module Production of dairy products

Introduction

The demand for milk and milk products is increasing rapidly, especially in urban areas. Customers are requesting an increasing variety of high quality products. A modern dairy company, whether it is private, government-owned, or a co-operative, has to fulfil the requirements of the customer while operating in a competitive market. Therefore, a modern dairy enterprise can only become profitable if its’ personnel has in-depth knowledge of milk and milk products as well as highly developed skills to produce high quality dairy products.

• Staff dealing with milk production.

All training is based on the concept of “learning by doing”. Because of this concept the group size is kept small, with a maximum of 8 participants. Each participant has the opportunity to study and practise different concepts and techniques for which ample time will be made available. The PTC+ teaching staff will discuss intensively with the students how to apply what they have learned in their own situation. This approach ensures that participants will obtain an impressive amount of knowledge and skills relevant to their own working situation. Two small scale milk processing plants equipped with machinery of different technology levels are the main training tools. Analysis of milk and dairy products is carried out in two appropriately equipped laboratories.
